Young Leicester City Winger Joins on Work Experience

Barwell Football Club are delighted to confirm that Leicester City winger Kian Williams has joined the club.

The 18-year-old moves to Kirkby Road on work experience until 27th January 2019.

Having progressed through the ranks at Leicester City, Williams is currently on a third-year scholarship with the Foxes and has joined Barwell to get a taste of senior football following his recovery from a serious injury.

Jimmy Ginnelly was impressed by the youngster in training last Thursday and again when the forward played in our 1-0 victory over Stamford on Saturday. Interest in Kian was high, with the Canaries fending off competition from at least one other team in our league for Kian's signature.

The young right winger has plenty of pace and will hopefully be able to settle into the squad quickly, with former Leicester teammates Elliot Percival and Dominic Brown-Hill currently at the club.

Barwell Football Club would like to place on record our thanks to Leicester City Football Club for offering us the opportunity to sign Kian on work experience forms.
